How to Play

The basic aim in Treasure Hunt is to obtain the treasure chests! There are 3 different types of chests as of now:

  • Green Chest: This chest stays on the map as long as the map is active. This chest can be obtained only once, and will disappear when obtained. The rewards in this chest are fixed.
  • Blue Chest: This chest stays on the map for 30 minutes. This chest can be obtained only once, and will disappear when the first player obtains it. The rewards in this chest are random.
  • Wooden Chest: This chest stays on the map for 30 minutes. This chest can be obtained by every player, and will disappear when the timer is up. The rewards in this chest are random.

Terrains

There are different types of terrains in Treasure Hunt. Please note that these types may differ in the future maps.

  • Sea: Forbidden to move.
  • Volcano: Forbidden to move
  • Plain Field: Free to move. Takes one step point
  • Forest: Free to move. Takes two step points
  • Mountain: Free to move. Takes three step points

Map

There are various buttons on the map providing various information. Below is the definition of each of the buttons.

Movement

In order to move on the map, you need step points. So, what is this step point? Step points are used to move to the tiles, and obtained by guessing the Bitcoin price! Yes, you’ve heard right. Whenever you want to move to a tile, you need to guess the future price of Bitcoin in 30 seconds.

There are two options when guessing: Up and Down!

When you choose one option, your timer of 30 seconds starts.

If you succeed (if you guess the future price right), you’ll move.

If not,

Well, don’t worry. You can try again. 😀

You also earn XPs when you move. These XPs will be used for special rewards later in the future. You’ll get 1 XP when you move to plain fields, 2 XPs when you move to forests, and 3 XPs when you move to mountains.

Tile Border Colors

You might notice that there are different border colors for tiles. These are:

  • Blue: Indicates current position
  • Green: Tiles you can move to
  • Red: Tiles you cannot move to
  • Yellow: Latest tile you tried to move

Rules

  • Terrains require different step points.
  • You might move to a mountain (which takes 3 step points) in multiple guesses.
  • Assume you moved ⅓ of the step points. If you try another tile, you previous progress is canceled
  • You can’t move to seas and volcanos
  • Maps will change occasionally
  • We’ll distribute rewards before changing to a new map, and the rewards will be based on the rankings
  • You are free to move infinite steps, but this might change / be limited in the future
  • The NFTs you own will increase the amount of rewards you’ll get or you will move more tiles a day. There is a formula when calculating the rewards. You can get twice or thrice the more rewards depending on the number and tier of the NFTs you own.
  • There are some red filled tiles. These are the other players currently on the map
  • The rewards you earn are automatically transferred to your Oceanland game account

Rewards

There are multiple rewards that you can get from the chests. These are:

  • Oceanland Resources
  • Tickets (Only if you have NFTs in your Oceanland account)
  • Boosters
  • XPs

And that’s all. Enjoy!
